The nature of my invention consists ina novel arrangement of pants -on a frame for stretching pants, and it consists in two upright stays, marked d Z1 c, the stays b c hinged, to permit them to expand, in connection `aith'stretchers d, e, andf. d andfstretchers pass'throngh the upright stays atthe top and bottom, by means of openings mortised in the said stays a b e. Stretchersd andf are for the purpose of stretching'the waistl and bottoms of the'pants. Stretcher e works in the groove t, for the purpose of expanding'the seat and legs ofthe said pants.

The str'etchers d andf are kept n`place by means of`pins g,- as shown in the drawings, passing through the said stretchers @Z andf, the whole machine pressing and stretching the said pants.
